Erik Ten Hag Provides Triple Crucial Injury Update Ahead Of Crunchy Leicester City Clash

The United boss hinted that ‘one or two’ could return but said he would assess their recovery in Saturday’s training session.

Martial has missed 23 games this season due to injury, his current hip problem being his fifth setback of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Antony has been absent from the last three games with a leg problem while McTominay has sat out the last four with a muscular injury.

Asked by club media whether any of the trio could make a comeback this weekend, the United boss said: “Maybe. We have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe one or two players can return, yeah.”

Meanwhile, both Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer are set to be welcomed back into the side after missing Thursday’s 2-2 Europa League draw with Barcelona through suspension. Ten Hag confirmed both Reds stars would be in the squad to take on Leicester.

He added: “You don’t want to miss them in the squad, in Barcelona. They are important players for our team. They are back in the squad, which is good. That will strengthen the squad, so we will have a good team on Sunday.”

Casemiro will serve the final game of his three-match red card ban against Leicester. Christian Eriksen remains sidelined with his long-term ankle injury while Donny van de Beek’s season is over following knee surgery last month.

Leicester could welcome back Youri Tielemans into the squad for their trip to Old Trafford following a thigh injury. Boubakary Soumare could be available while Ricardo Pereira has returned to fitness, although ex-United defender Jonny Evans is ruled out with a thigh problem.
